Sports Diver Theory
ST1 - Sport Diving
Lesson Objectives
This lesson outlines the Sports Diving Course, which includes understanding the varied diving conditions likely to be encountered, learning additional rescue skills and use of additional equipment to support diving in different conditions and dives including decompression stops. The course will add to students' greater awareness of conditions to assist with planning and diving to support extending their depth range to 35m upon completion of the Sports Diver qualification
Achievement Targets
At the end of this module students should:
- Understand the contents of the Sports Diver Course
- Understand that with skills and experience gained from, or since becoming Ocean divers, that the Sports Diver course develops theory and practical skills to support diving in differing conditions and where extended depths could well be experienced subsequent to qualification
- Understand that different factors affect diving conditions
- Understand that to support a more varied range of diving additional equipment will be needed and will be discussed in later classroom sessions of this course
- Understand that rescue skills will need to be developed and practised as they are becoming more experienced divers
- Understand that all diving at whatever level requires self-risk assessment to understand personal limitations and considerations to be able to continue enjoyable and safe diving
